Light Measurements

Applications

  • Studies of vegetation productivity & stress
  • Light-use efficiency
  • Monitoring de-forestation
  • Monitoring the effects of climate change
  • Mapping land cover & land use
  • CO Flux Towers
  • Eddy-Covariance Towers
  • Ground Truth Studies
  • NDVI Calculations possible
  • Measures incident and transmitted PAR in plant canopies 
  • Direct display of Leaf Area Index (LAI)





Sensors

  • 1, 2 up to 4 channel light sensors
  • Custom wavelength response
  • between 280 - 1100 nm (UV - VIS and NIR wavebands)
  • Broadband or narrow band
  • Cosine corrected for incident light
  • Narrow angle FOV for reflected light
